Anticipation

Just finished the second summer semester. I am pretty thrilled. Complementary Therapies was a great class! I am ready for a few days "off" to prepare for my first semester as a real, full time, full fledged student nurse. I have my stethoscope, shoes and scrubs, some of my books and my student loans. My last day as a professional computer geek is August 30th. I work part time so that is just five working days from now. I can't believe how fast this day has come. It seems like just yesterday I got acccepted into the program, but of course it has been a year. I am sad to leave my friends at work. They are truly an amazing bunch. At the same time I am so excited to start clinicals and get on the road to becoming a "real" nurse. I had a couple of nurses in my complementary therapies class who are just graduating. They are so very exhausted but happy, elated. It is great to see. It's a tough year ahead, but I know it will be worth it.
